5 factors to consider when buying a computer

heres what i think are the 5 factors people should consider when buying a computer..

  1. Price: you need 2 decide on a budgect before going into the shop, that way you can tell the shop assisent what u want and for how much, it'll save time.
  2. Repair: if the computer needs to be repaired or replaced its a good to check where the computers made and easily replacement parts can be sent to you, a laptop takes me time and money to repair than pc's.
  3. Perpose: always make sure that the computer fits your needs, such as appilications, size, durabilty, parental control software ect.
  4. Memory: the more ram a computer has the more space it has for files and the quicker it is so always check the ram before buying.
  5. Good quality:computer can break down and overheat when they are not a good quailty brand so make sure u buy it from a relaible, well trusted and known maunfactor.

if u consider all these factors then you should get the perfect computer for you.
